Overview

H. Orton Wiley’s theology blends Arminianism with Wesleyanism. His magnum opus, Christian Theology, is still among the most widely used Methodist theological resources. It provides a clear articulation of Wesleyan-Arminian thought. Reflecting his tenure as a Nazarene pastor, college administrator, and school president, Wiley’s classic three-volume Christian Theology is presented here in full, together with a condensed version, Introduction to Christian Theology. Emphasizing both scholarly and practical elements, this four-volume collection is an excellent resource for pastors, theologians, and lay people alike.
